For nearly a decade, Patrick J. Tighe has been going up against and standing up to big insurance companies that don’t honor their promise to do the right thing. In the process, he’s developed a record for getting clients the recoveries that insurers didn’t want to give. It’s a task for which few lawyers are as uniquely qualified.

The son of an insurance agent and a former senior claims adjuster himself, Mr. Tighe saw firsthand how the big insurers worked: good claims delayed and even denied; serious injuries not adequately compensated. Too many cases undervalued, and too many people failed. The need to do something was what sparked Mr. Tighe’s legal career.

A graduate of Villanova University and St. John’s University School of Law, Mr. Tighe opened Patrick J. Tighe, P.A., in 2002 and this developed into X1Law P.A. In the time since, he has helped thousands of individuals obtain the recoveries they deserve. Leveraging his prior experience working on the “other side,” Mr. Tighe knows the strategies and tactics big insurers use to stall and hamper claims — and makes sure they don’t work. It’s this tangible experience and perspective that few lawyers can bring to a case.

An active member of his community, Mr. Tighe helped start and fund the lacrosse program at Suncoast Community High School in Palm Beach County, Florida. A former lacrosse player at Villanova, he coached the Suncoast team, too. To those who know him, that’s not surprising. For whether in the courtroom of the playing field, his aim is simple: to be there for those who need his help. It’s a goal that Patrick J. Tighe meets time and time again.

Mr. Tighe helped me win my case. Dealing with the insurance company became unworkable, and thankfully Patrick was there to help. He is the most accessible attorney I have ever dealt with. My advice to anyone, do not try to deal with the insurance company alone, like I did. Call Patrick at X1 Law.
